PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or

cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is

printed directly on the remote. For many stan-

dard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD

functions, the standard function icons are

printed on top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a

particular button does not follow the command

printed on the remote. In order to see which

function a button controls, consult the Function

List tables printed on pages 37 and 38. To use

those tables, first check the type of device being

controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the

remote control diagram pictured at the left.

Note that each button has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button

has for a specific device, find the button num-

ber on the Function List and then look in the

column for the device you are controlling. For

example, button number 52 is the Macro 2

button for the AVR 210, but it is the “Favorite”

button for many cable television boxes and

satellite receivers. Button number 31 is the

Delay button for the AVR 210, but the + Time

button for CD players.

Note that the numbers used to describe the

button functions at the left for the purposes of

describing how a button operates are a differ-

ent set of numbers than those used in the rest

of this manual to describe the button functions

for the AVR 210.

Notes on Using the AVR 210 Remote With

Other Devices.

•

Manufacturers may use different code sets for

the same product category. For that reason, it

is important that you check to see if the code

set you have entered operates as many con-

trols as possible. If it appears that only a few

functions operate, check to see if another

code set will work with more buttons.

•

When a button is pressed on the AVR 210

remote, the red light under the

Input

Selector

e

for the product being operat-

ed should flash briefly. If the Device Control

Selector flashes for some but not all buttons

for a particular product, it does NOT indicate

a problem with the remote but rather that

no function is programmed for the button

being pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 210’s remote may be programmed to

operate the

Volume Control

and

Mute

functions of either the TV or the AVR 210

in conjunction with any of the devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example, since the

AVR 210 will likely be used as the sound sys-

tem for TV viewing, you may wish to have the

AVR 210’s volume activated, although the

remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 210

or TV volume control may be associated with

any of the remote’s devices.To program the

remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow

these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

e

for the unit

you wish to have associated with the volume

control and the

Mute

button

at the

same time until the red light appears under

the

Input Selector

e

and note that the

Program/SPL Indicator

c

will flash

amber.

2. Press the

Volume Up

button

and note

that the


c

will

stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press either the

AVR Selector

f

or the

Input Selector

e

, depending on which

system’s volume control you wish to have

attached for the punch-through mode. The


c

will blink

green three times and then go out to confirm

the data entry.

Example:

To have the AVR 210’s volume

control activated even though the remote is

set to control the TV, first press the

Video/TV Input Selector

e

and the

Mute

button

at the same time. Next,

press the

Volume Up

button

, followed

by the

AVR Input Selector

f

.

NOTE:

Should you wish to return the remote to

the original configuration after entering a

Volume Punch-Through, you will need to repeat

the steps shown above. However, press the same

Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through


operate so that the channel control function for

either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in

your system may be used in conjunction with

one of the other devices controlled by the

remote. For example, while using and controlling

the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a

cable box or satellite receiver without having to

change the device selected by the AVR 210 or

the remote. To program the remote for Channel

Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

button

e

for the

device you wish to have the channel control

associated with and the

Mute

button

at the same time until the red light appears

under the

Input Selector

e

and the


c

flashes amber.

2. Press the

Volume Down

button

. The


c

will stop flash-

ing and stay amber.

3. Press and release the

Input Selector

button

e

for the device that will be used to change

the channels. The


c

will blink green three times and then go

out to confirm the data entry.

Example:

To control the channels using your

Cable Box or Satellite Receiver while the

remote is set to control the VCR, first press

the

VID 1/VCR Input Selector

button

e

and the

Mute

button

at the same time.

Next, release them and press the

Volume

Down

button

, followed by the

VID 2/TV

Input Selector

button

e

.

NOTE:

To remove the Channel Control Punch-

Through and return the remote to its original

configuration, repeat the steps shown in the

example above. However, press the

VID 1/VCR

Input Selector

in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through


operate so that the Transport Control Functions

x

(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and

Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in

conjunction with one of the other devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example, while using

and controlling the TV, you may wish to start or

stop your VCR or DVD without having to change

the device selected by the AVR 210 or the

remote.To program the remote for Transport

Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

e

for the device

you wish to have the channel control associ-

ated with and the

Mute

button

at the

same time until the red light appears, under
